What is “The Room Where the Lizards Play the Saxophones?” It’s the place you go when you’ve faced you fears by challenging yourself and pushing to your absolute limit. It’s not a place for the faint of heart. It’s the place of broken bones, mental exhaustion, failed dreams, and the brink of defeat. Those who’ve never been in the room before don’t know how to come out of it. Those who’ve already been in the room and have come out the other side, have learned how to handle adversity; strengthening not only their character, but forging their indomitable will to succeed

My name is Mike. I'm originally from Texas, but moved to North Carolina in May of 2011. I love boxing, CrossFit, and all things fitness related. Is it just me though or are CrossFitters kind of weird? Just saying....
